HIV risk for protected intercourse of herpes positive person
Dear all,
I'm a sexually active gay with random partners that performing anal intercourse as insertive partner. I use condoms and water based lubricant for every intercourse episode. I do HIV test every 6 months but not for other STD tests likes genital warts, herpes. My concern: Am I put myself into HIV infection risk with condom protected anal sex as I might be a genital herpes positive person (I mostly practice unprotected receptive oral sex) ? As the fact that herpes eases the HIV infection.
Thank for your time!

Thanks for your prompt replies!
Is it means that HIV isn't an issue to me as long as I practice condom protected anal sex regardless I'm having an outbreak of STD that time ?

Unprotected oral sex is not a risk and the rest of the sex you engaged was protected.
